GAS-STOVE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 11, 1920.

Application filed August 23, 1919. Serial No. 319,434.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, DANIEL N. GRoss, a citizen of the United States, resident of South Fort Smith, in the county of Sebastian and State of Arkansas, have made a certain new and useful Invention in Gas- Stoves; and-I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled inV the art to which it appertains to make'and use the invention, reference being had to th e accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

Figure 1 is a front view of the invention as applied, with the stove partly broken away.

Fig. 2 is a detail fragmentary perspective view.

The invention has relation to gas stoves, having for its object to provide an improved construction of the gas radiator type of stove wherein the burner tube is provided with a series of perforations from which the flame issues in jets. One or more burner tubes may be used, as desired, and said tubes.

may be vertical or horizontal.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, the numeral 2 designates the body of the stove, provided with a back wall 3 and side walls 4, the front of the stove being open as shown at 5.

6 is the lower horizontal supply tube, engaging a perforation 7 of one side of the stove and provided with a suitable valve 8 to control the supply of gas.

This tube 6 is provided at opposite end portions thereof with lateral extensions or collars 9, usually cast thereon and having perforations 10 for engagement of securing screws or bolts 11, the latter passed through perforations of the side walls L1, against the inner sides of which the extensions or collars 9 are located.

The tube 6 is provided upon its top portion with upwardly projecting tubular eX- tensions or nipples 12, having perforations 13, and of lesser diameter than that of the tube proper, said nipples either cast in one piece with the tube, or insertible in perforations of the tube.

Loosely engaging the nipples 12 are up-V right burner tubes 1d, of which there may be any suitable number. as found necessary or desirable, from one to five or more, said tubes having at their lower ends holes 15 for the admission of air which' will be drawn in and mix with the gas so that the latter issuing from the jet holes will burn with a blue flame. The upper ends of the tubes loosely engage perforations 16 of an upper horizontal spacing end flanges or lugs 18 engaged by securing screws or bolts 19, passed through perforations of the side walls of the stove. The upper end portions of the burner tubes 1/1 are provided with collars 20 cast integrally therewith and designed in assembling the stove to be located somewhat below the spacing bar so that expansion of the tubes will not cause them to be sprung or bowed, these collars serving to limit the upward movement of the tubes and prevent disengagement of the lower ends of the tubes from the aforesaid nipples.

It is designed by this invention to reduce the cost of manufacture of the stove, and to enable it to be assembled readily by an unskilled person, and to provide a stove or burner that will not be likely to get out of order.

1. In a gas stove, a gas supply tube having nipples provided with perforations, a support or spacing bar parallel to said supply tube and provided with holes in line with said nipples, and burner tubes having at one end loose engagement with said nipples and at the other end fitting loosely in said holes, said burner tubes having lateral extensions adjacent to said support bar and preventing disengagement of the tubes from said nipples.

2. In a gas stove, a gas supply tube having nipples 7irovided with perforations, a sup port or spacing bar parallel to said supply tube and provided with holes in line with said nipples, and burner tubes having at one end loose engagement with said nipples and air admitting perforations, and at the other end fitting loosely in said holes and provided with lateral extensions adapted to enbar 17, the latter having gage said support bar to prevent disengagement from said nipples, said supply tube and said support bar having perforated lateral extensions at the ends thereof, and securing screws passed through the perforations of said extensions and the side Walls of the stove.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

DANIEL YN. GROSS.
